Kurt Russell did a great job I thought. It’s called Miracle. But yes, great movie.[/quote Thanks. I just came back to correct that. You beat me to it.

The casting was just perfect, Tommy Lee Jones, Woody, Anton, even small characters like the wife, the hotel desk lady, the gas station guy calling the coin toss, even the guy selling tent poles!
A couple other favorites I didn't see listed:
Aliens Hoosiers Shawshank Captain Ron Fugitive Hateful 8

No Country For Old Men is outstanding. One of the few films that does the book justice. Even more so, it IMPROVED my enjoyment of the book having mental pictures of the characters in my mind’s eye, as I saw the film before reading the book. Then, I went back and watched the film immediately again, and it was even better for having read the book. A rare experience. Did the ending of the book make any sense whatsoever because the ending of the movie didn't. Not to me anyway. Pollock.

Once upon a time in Hollywood was a most pleasant surprise. I really didn’t expect it to be so good. Most of the others mentioned are just as good as well. Another favorite I didn’t see here is “There Will Be Blood”. Daniel Day Lewis was incredible in that movie.

Conan the Barbarian 1982... not the ridiculous remake
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

300 Primal Fear might be the best B movie ever. I watched it today while on the treadmill and laughed way more than I should’ve.

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Rob Roy is another good one.
Same thing with Mel Gibson’s recent but generally overlooked “Blood Father” wherein Mel plays a former Outlaw Biker recently released from prison where he is contacted by his estranged daughter.
Funny thing is the scary tattooed Sicario assassin in that movie, the same guy that played the lead bad guy in “Apocalypto”, is actually a profession dancer, there’s photos of him all neatly dressed holding his pet yorkie. Dunno what team he’s on.

Dunno what team he’s on. Rob Roy is one of a handful of movies I'll not watch a second time. Gets me too fired up. Gotta tell myself it's just a movie. I sure wanted to climb through the screen and choke that fancy boy. Maybe a second viewing wouldn't get me so charged, but not sure my BP would take it.

If you like No Country for Old Men, and Sicario type movies, try "The Three Burials of Melquiada Estrada"....

Didn't read the entire thread, but for the love of Jesus, please tell me "The Big Lebowski" was at least mentioned in passing?
True Romance, Usual Suspects, Midnight in the garden of good and evil....
If you haven't seen it, "Hold the Dark" is one of my new favorites on Netflix and you need to watch it twice to catch everything. The scene where the native guy unleashes the M60 on a tripod on the cops is badass!

I almost missed it at the box office because I ain’t a big Tarantino fan, the Hawkeye posted on it here and I just caught it on the big screen. Great movie, I’d se it again in a heartbeat.
